I've just tested a simple Makefile with drive letters on OS/2
which seems to work as expected:

---------
all: d:\test\foo.o d:\test\foo.exe

d:\test\foo.o d:\test\foo.exe: d:\test\foo.c d:\test\foo.h
        echo $@ : $^
---------


Produces the output (make 3.81beta1):

echo d:\test\foo.exe : d:\test\foo.c d:\test\foo.h
d:\cpp\test\foo.exe : d:\test\foo.c d:\test\foo.h
echo d:\test\foo.o : d:\test\foo.c d:\test\foo.h
d:\test\foo.o : d:\test\foo.c d:\test\foo.h


Bye,
